The Return of His Remarkable Ex-Wife

Chapter 4: Why, Daniel?

Two days have passed, and Daniel didn't come home.

Laura tried calling Daniel many times, but he did not answer even once.

"Don't bother calling Daniel, Laura," Carol told her.

Laura looked at Carol who was sitting on the couch.

"You know, I am very happy to see them together!" Carol said. She was smiling but her eyes were insulting.

"They are perfect for each other. When I see the two of them, it's like watching a beautiful romantic movie," she continued.

Laura shook her head because of what Carol was saying to her.

Laura knew that Carol's words were meant to annoy her and make her jealous. Although she didn't want to be affected by Carol's words, she couldn't help but think that Daniel and Nancy were together now.

Carol grinned. She could see Laura's reaction. She knew Laura was affected because of her annoyed face.

"I know that you love my son, Laura, but think about it. He is happy with the woman he truly loves. He is content with Nancy."

Laura looked at Carol, "I love him, Mom. I will not leave him!" Laura insisted.

Carol shook her head, "Will you be an obstacle to Daniel's happiness, Laura?" She asked.

Laura couldn't answer immediately because of Carol's question to her.

Although Laura doesn't want to admit it, she sees Daniel happy with Nancy.

"You know that Daniel married you out of mercy, Laura. Yes, I made a mistake because I wasn't by his side when Nancy left and he had an accident, but you can't stop Daniel from following what he wants and that is Nancy !" Laura was hit by reality.

Laura knew what Carol was talking about. In their more than two years together as husband and wife, she did everything to make Daniel love her so much, that he will not regret marrying her.

"I know Daniel loves me, Mom. Even if his love for me is a small percentage, I will hold onto that to be with Daniel," Laura answered.

Carol tilted, "You know what, Laura? You are such a stupid woman! If you can't understand, take care of your life! If you continue to believe what you know, you will be hurt!" Carol commented before she stood and walked towards her room.

Laura took a deep breath.

'Am I stupid? Stupid to be with the man I love?'

'Yes, I know I am stupid, but what can I do? I promised myself to be with him until we are old until I die!'

Laura looked at her and Daniel's photo when they were married. She smiled and walked towards the picture. She got it and looked at it.

Laura looked at the door when it suddenly opened. Daniel and Nancy entered, happily talking to each other.

Because of what Laura saw, she composed herself. She felt pain in her heart while seeing Daniel with Nancy, but she needed to calm down to avoid scenes.

Laura quickly approached Daniel, but she stopped when she saw that their hands were holding each other.

"It's good that you're here, Laura. We need to talk," Daniel spoke.

Laura swallowed. She knew that Daniel was going to tell her something, and by the look on his face, she knew what they were going to talk about.

"What is it?" Laura asked him.

"You know that Nancy is pregnant, Laura. And you also know that she is the woman I need, the woman I love," Daniel began.

Laura looked at Daniel seriously.

"The divorce agreement is already prepared for us. The only thing I need is your sign," he informed.

"You know what my answer to that is, Daniel," Laura replied.

"What don't you understand, Laura? What do I have to do to get you to agree to the divorce agreement?" Daniel asked.

"You don't have to do anything, Daniel. My decision is final, to be with you no matter what happens!"

Daniel held his breath because of Laura's answer.

"If you don't want to sign the divorce agreement, I can't do anything," Daniel surrendered.

"But, Nancy will live here whether you like it or not! If you insist, sign the divorce agreement and leave here!"

Laura looked at Nancy, who was smiling while looking at her.

Laura did nothing about Daniel's decision. Even though she doesn't want Nancy to be in the same house, he can't allow her to be separated from her husband.

Laura was left alone as Daniel and Nancy walked to the room.

Laura sat down. She thought of a possible way to change his mind and not proceed with the divorce.

Her only thought was to tell Daniel her true identity. Tomorrow Laura has to return to her Grandfather to take their Company.

'If I tell Daniel my true identity, Daniel might change his mind,' Laura analyzed.

Laura busied herself cleaning the whole house.

Since Nancy arrived, Carol had kicked out all their maids. Since then, all the house chores have been done by Laura.

Three hours later, Nancy came out of the room.

"Laura, will you please come here," Nancy requested.

Laura frowned. She approached Nancy who was at the door of the room. When she got closer, she saw Daniel lying on the bed asleep.

"I would like to cook dinner for Daniel. Will you please buy the ingredients that I need?" Nancy requested.

Laura looked at Nancy deadly.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Nancy asked.

"What do you really want, Nancy?" Laura asked back.

Nancy grinned, "To be with Daniel," she directly replied.

Laura took a deep breath, "Daniel is a married man, Nancy. Why don't you just find someone else?" she asked more.

"I know you know what our status is, Laura. We were the first to love each other, and now we will continue our relationship that was interrupted," she answered.

"If you really loved Daniel, Nancy, you wouldn't have left him for no reason before and you wouldn't have hurt him!"

Nancy raised her eyebrows because of what Laura told her.

"I just prepare myself to be with him, Laura. Even though I didn't tell Daniel my plan before, I know he understood me," she explained.

"I already explained myself to him, and as you can see, we are gradually working out our relationship," she added.

"And now, I know you know that we are now ready to be with each other." she continued, which made Laura feel pain because of the reality that she was facing now.

"We love each other. We need each other to be happy," she ended.

Laura was speechless. She just looked at Nancy seriously.

"So, If I were you, I wouldn't force myself on someone who doesn't want me! Sign the divorce paper, Laura, because of me Daniel will be happy!"

Laura tilted her head, "I will not agree to what you want, Nancy. I will fight for Daniel and save our marriage!" she replied.

"It's up to you, Laura. Don't blame me if you get hurt mentally and emotionally. I already told you what will be good for you," Nancy ended their conversation.

"Here is the money and the ingredients, Laura," she gave the money.

"Even though I wanted to be the one to buy, the doctor didn't allow me to go out all the time because it would harm Daniel and my child," she reasoned.

"If there are changes to that money, keep it, Laura. I know you don't have a job so you don't have money," Nancy said insultingly.

Laura took the money. She went to a nearby grocery store, and after she bought all the ingredients Nancy needed, she waited for a sick cab.

Not long after, a cab stopped in front of her. Laura came in and said where she was going.

While they were travelling, Laura noticed they were passing in the wrong way.

Laura looked at the driver. She swallowed when she noticed the strange way the driver looked at her. Her feet and hands tremble.

"Stop the car. I forgot to buy something," Laura was calm trying to reason out to escape her position.

The driver didn't seem to hear anything. He continued driving until the cab stopped.

A man was walking towards the Cab. When the man opened the back door of the cab where Laura was, Laura did not hesitate to kick him hard.

The man fell. Laura had a chance to run and escape.

"Help me!!" Laura yelled to seek help, but there was no one trying to help her.

When Laura turned around, she saw two men chasing her.

Laura sped up running until she saw an alley. He entered the alley and looked for a place to hide. She found a big trashcan. She quickly hid.

Laura took out her smartphone, trying to call Daniel, but he did not answer it.

"Where is that woman?" Laura heard from one of the men.

Laura called Daniel several times, but still no one answered. She couldn't do anything but call Logan for help.

Not long after, Logan answered Laura's call.

"Help me!!"

"Where are you?" Logan asked.

Laura turned off the call and sent her location. If the two of them continued to talk, the two men might hear her.

"Find the woman. Sir Daniel will be angry with us if we don't find her!"

Laura's eyes widened because of what she heard.

'Daniel? Daniel plans this?' Laura couldn't believe what she heard.

Because of the shock, Laura touched the trashcan.

The two men quickly approached the trashcan and saw Laura.

A man pulled Laura's hair.

"What do you need from me!?" Laura yelled at them.

"Sorry. It's just our job!" The man replied.

A man quickly punched Laura's belly.

"Argh!!" Laura bowed.

"Don't please! Have mercy on me!" Laura begged.

"Sorry, but we need money!!"

They punched Laura's belly several times. Laura wanted to fight, but she couldn't do anything.

'Why, Daniel? Why did you do this to me!'

Soon, Laura lost consciousness. She didn't know what would happen to her, as long as she knew, Daniel planned all of this!
